tion through lack of sufficient manli-

their mistake, have delayed reform
and hindered the cause they claimed
they were making such sacrifices to

pass that civil service reform is less

than It was before the republican
party enacted the civil service law.
No one wastes time any longer in
considering whether the president
regards or enforces the law. For
every one knows that the spirit and
intent Of the law and the objects of
the law ARE set aside. Now and then

Though We do not sec how Tie tobacco
raising States are to be benefited by the
repeal Of the tobacco tax. still We will
not oppose that proposition which iscon-
ceived by a great many advocates Of tar
III reform to be a measure of harmony.
At the moment when 1t occupies the
lever point Of compromise the best thing
TO do Is to bring all the pressure possible
to bear on It, and get a difficult obstruc-
tion out Of the way.
The Democratic leaders cannot afford
to quarrel just when the work on the
tariff ought 20 be accomplished promptly
and In accordance with Democratic prom
ises.
If three great Democratic states think
that the abolition of this feature Of the
internal revenue Is 10 their interest, and
at the same time see the way to reduce
both internal taxes and import duties,
they cannot do a wiser thing than TO
push the fight on the salient pointed
out by the President, and make the first
stroke Of reduction at the point where it
will be soonest appreciated By the PEG.
pie.
or course Congress will do what it did
before when the tobacco tax was reOuced,
which is 10 allow a rebate TO cover the
amount paid in taxes by those who have
been brought under the present system.
The popular idea in the country IS that
the manufacture OF tobacco out to be
opened TO all competitors and that the
tax operates in favor Of large manu-
facturers.
II This is the strong idea ia the politi-
cal part Of the subject Of the reduction Of
taxes, the best and the wlsest thing is to
yield the point to those States that be-
lieye in IL.

The old navigation laws did more than
TO protect at high rates the natiye-made
ships; they absolutely forbid Americans
to use any others, and 70 fo~reign-built
ships can be owned by Americans and
use the United States flag.
Congress has often been besought to
make exceptions to the iron rule and per-
init English vessels to be transferred TO
Yankee owners and registered as home
made, but has rarely consented. Some
times a %ferryboat, running across the
Niagara River, is graciously allowed TO
pass to register from Canadian to Ameri-
can hands.
Senator Don Cameron wants to obtain
from Congress a right for the Interna-
tional Navigation Company to register
certain foreign.built ships, but it is hard
ly likely that anything of a%princlple will
be seen in this movement which is ask
ing a special privilege only for n com
pany, but it will draw the attention OF
the country to one Of the abuses Of pro-
lection and cause people to wonder how
such a wholesale wrong could have
been 50 long maintained.

Gen. Mitchell, "sInIe cunboat."

He concluded that it was necessary for
him 10 have a gunboat with which 10
patrol the river. No regular boat could
pass the shoals 70 come far enough up the
Tennessee river for the purpose; besides,
II he asked the government for a gunbOat

He found an Old mule ferryboat. This he
patched up, and mounting q gun forward
set her afoat under the name Of the
"Gunboat Tennessee" There is some
thing ludicrous In the military gravity
with which he gave his instructions TO its
commander. When one considers the iln-
mense resources that were placed at the
disposal OF other generals and the make
shifts Of Mitchell, working with nothing
except what he could improyise, there IS
something more than ludicr0us ia this
order. Il is pathetic:
"CAPTAIy: You are placed in command
of the Gunbont Tennessee, now lying at
W~hitesburg. You viii find one piece OF
artillery on board the boat. You will
take on board a crew OF armed river men
from your own company such as you may
deem necessary. You are also authorized
TO take on board volunteers from the de-
tachmons Of the Fifteenth Kentucky, now
at Whitesburg. Go prepared for any
emergency to work your boat should the
horses and mules be killed"
The GunbOat Tennessee did good ser
vice. Steam soon replaced the mules, and
the peculiar looking craft continued to
patrol the river TIL Gen. Mitchell left the

Education Among tho Chinese.

AS O people the Chinese males are better
educated than any other race OF people In
the world. Education 10 a certain extent
Is compulsory for ell Chinese males,
although the mass cannot 90 much more
than read and write; still to that extent
they are all educated. IL has been the
policy of the Chinese government for
hundreds Of years 70 select q certain num-
Der Of boys from each district and educate
them for historians and writer's. Their
work IS never completed, for as long as
they live and are able to 10 anything they
continue to study and w.ite. Every five
years they pass an examination, and, ac-
cording 10 their proficiency, they are pro-
NOTED to Office or rank. AS a rule no
Chinese can hope to attain prominence in

We described some days ago the plan
OF the Republicans to get four Western
Territories made into States, which OF
course is a party measure to strengthen
the Republicans.
We now notice a great amount Of op-
position 20 the idea of making four States
olt of Texas, which is a Democratic
lea. But the difference is that -four
4 Texan States would hold a Democratic
majority of four 10 one, whereas the louI
verythinly populated Territories of the
West might have a changing political
majority, and besides this thing could
reinforce the Republican party with
Senators while the more thickly popu
lated States Of Texas would send three
times the number Of Representatives tc
the Lower House Of Congress. Every
body knows In advance that all the new
States 10 be made out Of Texas would
be Democratic and would render the
"Solld South still more formidable in
presidential elections. The Democrats
all over the Union are, therefore, not I'M

chances OF their continuance in power
